The Prime Minister and his wife are now in self-isolation due to the COVID-19 virus.
Justin Trudeau and his wife were overseas recently, and she started to have symptoms.
The isolation is also affecting others in Ottawa, as NDP leader Jagmeet Singh is also self-isolating.
Friends, I am at home today, feeling unwell.
I have been in contact with a doctor and they do not believe I have symptoms consistent with COVID19. But their advice is for me to limit contact with the public until I am feeling better.

This means the first ministers meeting in Ottawa has been postponed, and the deputy Prime Minister will talk to the premiers by phone.
Justin Trudeau adds he’s not feeling ill, but these latest moves are out of caution.
